Chapter 193 - 193: 179: The Ultimate Immortal Formation
“Zhang Zhiliang is an eccentric person. It took a lot of effort to persuade him this time.”
“Of course, the contribution points needed are higher than the 10,000 points I mentioned before, which were needed under Gong Boyu.”
“13,000 contribution points.”
“Opportunities are rare. If you’re interested, contact me as soon as possible!” Then there was no more sound from the spirit symbol.
“Just an additional 3,000 contribution points, no problem. Thank you, fellow daoist!” Li Fan thought for a moment and gave a positive reply to He Zhenghao.
On one hand, he wanted to get close to Zhang Zhiliang and find a way to become his official apprentice.
On the other hand, he wanted to take this opportunity to join the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
Joining the system has many benefits.
Compared to the over 10,000 contribution points that were spent in an instant on cultivation, these 13,000 contribution points were well worth the investment.
Once the message was sent, He Zhenghao immediately replied: “In that case, to avoid any complications, come to Dharma Dissemination Square to wait for me.”
“I’ll take you to meet Zhang Zhiliang first. Then quickly secure the spot.”
“You should know that even though it’s just a small position as an array repair staff, there are quite a few foundation establishment cultivators eying this position!”
Li Fan also replied, “In that case, thank you fellow daoist!”
He then left the Tianxuan Mirror and went to Dharma Dissemination Square to wait for He Zhenghao.
As soon as he arrived, he saw that He Zhenghao was already waiting.
“You’ve done a lot of work, fellow daoist!” Li Fan said to He Zhenghao.
“Hehe, no need to be so formal. Since you were recommended to join the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals by me, I naturally have to take good care of you.”
“Furthermore, it’s a mutual benefit. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll need your help for something!”
He Zhenghao waved his hand, not minding at all.
He then said, “Zhang Zhiliang is not on Ten Thousand Immortals Island right now. Recently, an island suddenly erupted from the bottom of the western waters of Misthaven Ocean. Both Zhang Zhiliang and Gong Boyu are currently on that island.”
“It might be a year or even more before they return.”
“You come with me to meet them, and secure the position first.”
Li Fan nodded.
“An island cracked open from the sea bottom? A few array masters from the Array Strategy Hall are all on the island? Did they find some ancient sect relics?” As Li Fan followed He Zhenghao toward a tree-like teleportation array, he asked.
He Zhenghao shook his head: “Not any sect relics, just a common island.”
“It sank into the ocean mysteriously more than three thousand years ago. Now, it has come out of the water again.”
“The strange thing is, this island seems to have originally been a defensive island of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, but we cannot find any records about this island. The Island Protection Array on the island was reactivated when the island floated up.”
“The Island Protection Array is quite different from the present day. So, the array masters from Array Strategy Hall have all rushed over.”
He Zhenghao explained.
Through the teleportation array, the two arrived at a large island filled with various types of trees, like a primeval forest.
This place was at least ten times bigger than Liuli Island.
“About 500 miles to the west of Spirit Tree Island is where the island located.”
Li Fan and He Zhenghao were flying towards their destination while conversing.
“Could it be that the array techniques a thousand years ago are more powerful than the present ones? Why did several array masters specifically go to observe?” Li Fan asked, expressing the confusion in his mind.
“Hehe, fellow daoist may not know. The defensive array used by our Alliance of
Thousands of Immortals does not remain static.”
“The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals has always been at odds with the Five Elders Organization. If we used a fixed array technique that didn’t change for over a hundred years, it’s inevitable that there would be a leak and a risk of being easily broken on a large scale.”
“Therefore, the defensive array changes every two hundred years for a minor variation, and every thousand years for a major variation.”
“A minor variation means that the basic logic of the array technique doesn’t change, with only slight adjustments made to the layout of the array.” “A major variation, however, means constructing a completely new array.”
“The previous array would then be sealed and no longer used.”
He Zhenghao slowly explained.
“Therefore, the protective array running on the island, which dates from three thousand years ago, is quite unusual. Its power is average, but those proficient in arrays can infer the corresponding Ten Thousand Immortals Formation from it.”
Li Fan was stunned to hear this: “The corresponding Ten Thousand Immortals
Formation?”
He Zhenghao hesitated for a moment, but still quietly explained: “This Ten
Thousand Immortals Formation isn’t the one on Ten Thousand Immortals Island. It refers to the true Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, which amplifies power by having nodes in all cities and islands’ defensive arrays within a state, and the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation of either the central island or Heaven City as its core.”
“Once this Ten Thousand Immortals Formation is fully activated, it covers a whole state, and its power is unimaginable. It is said to have a record of killing the Unity Immortal Monarch.”
“However, the resources it consumes are also extremely huge, and it can only be activated with the permission of the Immortal Alliance Headquarters.”
“It’s generally only used when the Five Elders Organization invades and battles break out.”
Li Fan, who had just begun to understand arrays, involuntarily took a deep breath as he visualized the scene in his spirit consciousness.
“No wonder the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals goes to great lengths to construct defensive arrays in most of the cities within its territory.”
“So there’s this background.”
Just then, He Zhenghao said cheerfully: “We’ve also speculated privately that this might not be the full form of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. The gigantic array that covers all territories of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, using each state’s fully activated Ten Thousand Immortals Formation as nodes, is probably the real form of the Ten Thousand Immortals
Formation. ”
“But this is purely our conjecture during our spare time. That kind of array is too terrifying. Once activated, it’ll likely cause huge devastation to the Immortal Cultivation World.”
After hearing this, Li Fan fell silent.
“Given the way the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals operates, the final form of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation must exist.’
“And in the Xuanhuang World, where most of the territory is divided between the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization, the peace on the surface can still be maintained. Apart from those elusive immortals, the existence of this ultimate Ten Thousand Immortals Formation must be a very important factor.”
After Li Fan fell into contemplation, the two didn’t speak the rest of the way.
Sometime later, that sunken island resurfaced into their sight.
From afar, Li Fan could still detect the damp aroma from the island.
The majority of the buildings on the island were intact.
But they were covered in seaweed and moss after being sunk at the bottom of the sea for a thousand years.
On the streets, countless fish were flipping and struggling for survival, having been separated from the water.
Outside the island, Li Fan faintly saw a layer of golden array barrier. “I wonder why this island sank three thousand years ago.”
“And why has it suddenly resurfaced now?”
